Toys R Us will return to several UK high streets next week, five years after the toy chain closed doors across the UK. The retailer has confirmed it will open nine concessions in WH Smith stores, with the openings starting on June 10 and taking place across the summer.
The first will open at the Minks Cross Retail Park in York on June 10, The Mirror reports. All the concessions will include a life-sized sculpture of Geoffrey the Giraffe, with products on sale including Barbie, Peppa Pig, Lego and Marvel.
The move follows the retailer relaunching its website in September, selling thousands of products in the process. WHSmith High Street managing director Sean Toal said: “At WHSmith, we’re always exploring new opportunities to launch exciting, new product ranges to our customers on the high street, and our partnership with Toys R Us certainly does this!
